REALLY good Oprah...(even though its a rerun)

Its 2am, and I'm sitting here, glued to the TV, bawling my eyes out. The show originally aired 11/9/06, but I must've missed it.

I would've LOVED to have this in my high school. There is SO MUCH hurt behind those teenage eyes, and I can understand it 100%. I love this program - I really think its amazing.

Oprah's High School Challenge

Go inside a daring experiment—64 teens will be transformed. Confrontation, heartache, confessions…even forgiveness. A show that you and your family can't miss.

Lisa Ling goes inside a typical American high school to participate in a powerful experiment. Can teens learn to look beyond labels?

High school students participate in a powerful exercise. Tears begin to fall as they complete the sentence: "If you knew me, you would know…"

Sooooo, that said,
IF YOU KNEW ME, YOU WOULD KNOW:

that I'm constantly overachieving and seeking approval from strangers because my parents never told me I was good at anything when I was little , but they were soooooooo quick to point out my flaws - and I never really got over it.

I saw this yesterday too, and it was amazing. I was in tears.

Thanks for sharing that with us shorty...

If you knew me, you'd know that I'm not as confident and strong as I try to appear. Behind closed doors, insecurities often overwhelm me.
